For the second straight year, the Supreme Court has an opportunity to establish limits on partisan gerrymandering
— or go the other direction and send mapmakers an anything-goes message ahead of the 2020 census.
In North Carolina, Republicans explicitly sought to ensure the GOP would control 10 of the state’s 13 House districts. In Maryland, Democrats openly targeted a long-time Republican congressman, altering the lines of his district to defeat him and give Democrats a 7-1 advantage in the state., the Supreme Court declined an earlier chance to strike down Maryland’s congressional map or dictate firm guidelines about how far is too far when it comes to partisan gerrymandering.
“There are many plausible ways that the court could create a test and police those partisan gerrymanders,” said Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California-Irvine who also runs the popular. “The bigger question is whether there’s the will among five justices to do that.”
